Chapter 1

"Mommy, where are you going?"

"Ryuu, Ritsu and I are going shopping. We'll be back soon."

"Why you leave me alone?"

"You wont be alone, Akito's here with you."

"Otay Mommy, see you soon."

"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!"

"Your mommy won't be back. But in the mean time, some and play in the burning house."

"MOMMY!"

Ten Years Later…

Kuni's and shurikens shooting past you in every direction possible and you running from them can really take a lot out of you. Why are they chasing me? I thought attempting to dodge every branch in my way. This is my reward for surviving a fire; ten years of woods and ninjas. I looked around for a place to relax. I looked to the right, I saw even more woods. To the left, I saw a quiet little village. Let's see, I thought, raging ninjas or quiet village? Quiet village. I immediately turned left and headed for the village.

I must have outrun them. I thought, now walking though the village. I walked to the largest building in the village. A man in a kimono was sitting there eating grapes.

"Akito?" I whispered. He obviously heard me and said,

"Ahh, Ryuu. I take it my ninjas have taken care of you."

"Huh?" I asked.

He chuckled and said, "Because nobody likes a worthless monkey, like you, I'm going to send you very far away."

"Where are you going to send me?" I said with a serious tone.

"The Village Hidden in the Leaves." he said slyly.
